1t is no eXaggeration to say that,
article for article, the furnishing of a
house in Mexico costs three times as much
as it does in the United States-a point
which railway companies do not take
into consideration when they pay not
over high salaries in silver to their en-
ployes here.
The highest priced food is canned
goods. Mexico ought not to import these
goods, especially fruits, as canning might
be made to pay well here; but she does
all the same. \ can of green sweet corn
from the States, infinitely superior to the
dry native stuff, costs seventy-five cents
silver; a small can of oysters thirty-two
cents; small can of Wilmington pre-
pared ham So pound of American ham.
fifty cents; bologna sausage, 81 a pound,
etc. Beer is about as cheap as cham
payne, and to ask friend to take a
glass of beer is very marked compli-
ment. The luxury of "a ham sandwich
and a glass of beer" is about as high as
one can go in the treating line and the
quantity of ham is not in proportion to
the powerful deal of bread. Oatmeal
costs thirty-seven cents pound here

Gen. Phil Sheridan's Courtship.

Not long since. at a dinner given in
New York, Gen. Sheridan related an in
cident that befell him while calling on
the young lady who is the present Mrs.
Sheridan. During the war Gen. Sheri-
dan was too much occupied defending
his country to fall in love. When the
malady finally overlook him in Chicago
after the war Sheridan had passed what
is generally called the romantic stage
and was settling down into a well
seasoned old bachelorhood. Old bachelors
make the most enthusiastic of lovers,
and the general admitted that he was no
exception to the rule.
1t was a warm summer evening, "
Sheridan began, land upon my arrival
at the house the young lady and myself
retired to the back parlor The front
parlor opened into the hall, and as the
night was warm, you know, we did not
think it necessary to light the gas in the
back room. Now, this young lady S

the alarm on the front door. After a
time the old gentleman came down stairs,
set his alarm on the door. and. seeing the
dim light i'll the front parlor, supposed
that | had gone. and turned out the light
i'll the hail. We were busily engaged talk
ing, you know, and somehow did not hear
him. Finally when got up to leave the
young lady accompanied me to the door.
We were surprised to find the light turned
out and in fumbling aroud for the door
knob set off the burglar alarm 1t seemed
to me that | never knew burglar alarm
to work so well before. 1t sounded like
the explosion of a keg of dynamite. A
moment later the father of the young lady
appeared at the head of the stairs in his
night dress, holding light in one hand
and large pistol in the other. At this
apparition the young lady deserted me
and fled into the darkness NY position

TWO SINNERS.

There was a man, it was said one time,
Who went astray in his youthful prime.
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep quiet,
When the blood is a river that running riotS
And boys will be boys, the old folks say.
And a mans the better who's had his day
The sinner reformed, and the preacher told
OF the prodigal son who came back TO the fold,
And Christian people threw open the door
With warmer welcome than ever before.
Wealth and honor were his to command
And a spotless woman gave him her hand,
And the world strewed their pathway with flowers
a-bloom,
Crying, God bless lady and God bless groom"
There was maiden went astray,
In the golden dawn of her life's young day;
She had more passion and heart than head
And she followed blindly where fond love led
And love unchecked is dangerous guide
To wander at will by fair girls side
The woman repented and turned from sin,
But no door opened to let her in:
The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven
But told her to look for mercy in heaven.
For this is the law of the earth we know.
That the woman is scorned. while the man may
go
A brave man welded her. after all.
But the world said. frowning. I'VE shall not call &"

In talk to Massachusetts, farmers Mr..
L. NJ. Russell said the rock or sugar ma
pie was the best tree to plant to secure
ornament or shade, He said: 1T is a
handsome tree from the start-stately
and well balanced in maturity. Its fol
iage is deep and cooling in summer and
gorgeous as the sunset clouds in autumn.
1t will bear more mutilation and ill usage
and still thrive than almost any other
tree. AS wayside tree in exposed situa-
tons it has no superior. AS pasture
shade for cattle it is one of the best of
trees. 1t would give comfort to the cat
tie and please the eye by its beauty. -

The articles appearing in several lead
ing monthlies on How | was Educated ="
are all written by educated men. How
We're the uneducated men educated?
Among them We're such men as Henry
Wilson, Andrew johnson. Abraham Lin
coin, Edward Hitchcock and hundreds of
others eminent in public life whose
names are almost household words. How
was Jay Gould educated? 1t would be a
paying investment for some magazine to
hire him to tell the story of his early
mental training. We recently read that
'when DR.. Hitchcock was president of
Amherst college he was asked from what
institution he graduated. He replied,
From my mothers dye tub Those
who We're children when President Hitch
cock was a boy will remember that in
many houses wooden dye tub. holding
eight or ten gallons, stood in almost
every kitchen chimney corner filled with
dye, where the good housewives colored
the yarn for the stockings and mittens of
the family. 1t was warm, coy place,
and was frequently occupied as a seat
(of course it had tightly fitting cover
by children when studying their Daboll' S
arithmetic and Murray's grammar.
We much mistake the object and scope
of education when we suppose that resi-
dence in college halls is necessary to an
education. We believe in colleges. They
stand as outposts against ignorance.
Thousands of the best men and women
have been educated by Them but an edu-
cation outside has been accomplished with
excellent success in multitude of in
stances. We often hear of very success
full men in business spoken of as ''unedu-
Gated. " Are they? One in mind had a
thorough knowledge of men. He could
read them like book. His Judgment of
stocks and investments was excellent.
He had aggressiveness, caution. and yet
was almost lavish in his outlays. He
knew nothing of either Greek or Latin,
but was well versed in the language ways
of business. As IA commander of men he
was uneXcelled; yet he was ''unedu-
Gated. Was he? The most important
definition just now needed for the new
dictionary, soon to appear. is for this old
word, education.-SchoolJ journal.

1t is very well remembered that Num-
ford was hanged in New Orleans in 1862
by Gen. Buffers orders for hauling down
the flag on the United States mint. but
there is a sequel to that historical fact
that has never been published. A few
years after the war Gen. Butler was a
member of congress and learned that
Mrs. Mumford was in small Virginia
town with her children in an almost des-
titute condition. A week after that Mrs
Munford was appointed to clerkship in
the interior department. She had no idea
where the influence came from that put
her in the position, and could not learn
1t enabled her to live comfortably and
educate her children.
With the first change of administration
she lost her place and was in great dis
tress. Again the unknown influence
came to her and she was given another
place and her salary increased. A year
or two afterward by accident she found
out who had been her unknown friend
When she found that he was the man she
had always considered the wanton muir
derer of her husband she had a terrible
struggle with herself, but at last sought
Gen. Butler to thank him. 1t is said the
scene between them was a most moving
and pathetic one.-Cincinnati CONNER

WHO KNOWS

Who of us know
How our next neighbor faresf
How of the woes and many cares
That rise like mountains in their wayf
And who of us can say
We know of that large world we never see,
The world Of poverty?
Who of us know
How much of pain smiling face conceals,
How little of the sunlight ever steals
Into the lives of those who seem the happestt
The one who makes us merry with his jest,
May he not carry in his heart so free
wound he does not wish the world to seer
Who of us love,
And loving, cherish but the empty name,
And feed our hearts on naught; the flame
That burns so brilliant and SO bright,
That lights our path as do the stars at night,
Goes out as quick as heavens lightning flashes
And leaves us-ashes

Factors in Longevity.

Activity, out of door exercise and early
rising, with moderation in diet, are the
most important factors in longevity.
Few things tend to promote health and
vigor more than activity-activity with
out excitement-an activity which does
not wear the body out. The candle
ought to burn briskly, and, as general
rule, at both ends, regarding the head or
brain as one and the limbs or locomotory
agents AS the other; but it should not
burn too fast.-Cor. British Medical
